Our first fun day!

Today Clayton and I finally took some time off of the tedious house hunting and went snorkeling!! We rented the gear and went to Hanauma Bay.  It had to be the most beautiful thing I have seen in Hawaii so far.  There were beautiful fish everywhere and so close. It felt like we were in the aquarium! 

We are still in the process of looking for a house or townhouse to stay.  We looked at on post housing and it seems like our best bet so far! But we are going to keep looking and see what we find.  This experience has taught us and is continuing to teach us a ton. Some times we have to learn the lessons the hard way but I think it is making our relationship stronger and we are growing huge leaps as a newly married couple.

 Another view from my run

My "Proud To Be TMC" hat! Was running with my hat on and was thinking of TMC so I took a picture!

A few days ago on my run there was a man playing the ukulele on the beach, it was the perfect back drop and the stereotypical noise of Hawaii.  I recorded it on my phone but not sure how to get it off so others can hear it!

Hawaii has had so high ups and some pretty low parts to it to.  The culture and the people here are very very different from Arizona and Georgia.  We have never had experiences with non patriotism till we came here.  That has been a very interesting experience that caught me off guard. And I cannot pronounce anything here! haha All the street names and cities are foreign language! Kalakaua Avenue, Kapiolani Street, Ko' Olina. All street names and cities that I cannot even begin to pronounce. And it is very funny to hear the GPS try! 

The 6 hour time difference from friends and family on the east coast has been pretty interesting and sometimes frustrating.  6 hours is a huge difference and only allows certain times during the day to call. And that can sometimes sink. lol

More pictures to come!

Taking things one day at a time.
